receiving individual sausage links (17) from a link forming machine (14) and for transferring them onto a main conveyor (30). These sausage links are transferred in a guided manner whereby to orient them on a predetermined ejecting path (24). When the sausage links arrive at the receiving end (25,26,27) of the main conveyor, they are oriented in a side-by-side transverse alignment relationship (17,11). A transfer device is provided at a transfer station along the main conveyor to transfer a predetermined number of the transversely aligned sausage links off the conveyor and onto a package support element. The package support element with the predetermined number of sausage links thereon are then conveyed downstream of the transfer station for further handling. <IMAGE> |
